Honestly, could not care less for ovi maps - we got plentora of other possibilities for maps, navigation (both tile based or vector based) and whatsnot.

Ho ever, I don't see reason why porting more recent gecko engine to microB shall break anything. It's transparent for other programs, thanks to recent work on re-writing browserd as open source (actually, this task was finished, not so long ago).

I wish, but this sh*t is broken even at point of pre-removal scripts.

If I would care about iPhone (users), I would probably not sit here To be honest again, browser-embeded videos are of little-to-none interest for me. I'm discussing here, from pure technological/practical point of view - just saw that someone is (again) spreading FUD about html5 being cure for current flash problems

Not to mention that it won't happen, cause I'm using Iceweasel (via Easy Debian) as browser, mostly. AFAIK, it incorporates same plentora of new features (of gadgets) as desktop Firefox. Here goes another (extremely) funny thing - Iceweasel (=debian version of desktop Firefox) is working better, than Fennec (crippled version of Firefox - using same engine as desktop, but with less features). Of course it require proper configuration of chroot, but...

IMO, any work on porting more recent Fennec's to Maemo is pure waste of time, when we have Open browserd available. It could be spend on porting actual version of Gecko engine to our beloved N900, which would be more profitable/sane/rationale.

but, of course, it's matter of freedom - if someone want to play with toys like fennec, why not. There always will be some who care (and use), and I'm not against it, by any means.
